Starting in Autumn 2015, SAFS will partner with the School of Oceanography to offer FISH/OCEAN 300 Exploring Opportunities in Marine Sciences, a seminar designed around preparing juniors and seniors (with interests in aquatic sciences) for next steps after graduation.
In this course you will:

Plan courses and prepare for graduation
Explore academic, research, and career opportunities in the marine/freshwater sciences
Prepare to apply for jobs and/or graduate school

Course Information:
FISH 497* Special Topics in AFS (sln 22395)
1cr (CR/NC)
Wednesdays, 1:00-2:20, MSB 123
*Temporary course number – will become FISH 300; register now for FISH 497 and you will be switched automatically to FISH 300 sometime before the start of Autumn quarter
This course is not required nor will it fulfill any AFS degree requirements but it is strongly recommended for all AFS majors who will be a junior or senior in the 2015-16 academic year.

Students can take some of the most popular online credit classes as part of their normal tuition load and pay an online fee. Please note the fee has changed to $120 per class. (Exceptions are the ESRM 100 course that will continue the $350 fee and Math courses that will have NO FEE.) These select online courses are offered in a group-start format, which means students can interact with their classmates and complete the course during the quarter.

Are you interested in immersing yourself in the beauty and richness of the Yakama and Makah culture? Do you love working with elementary students? Do you want a deep, engaging, non-traditional learning experience in Washington State?
If you answered yes to the above questions, consider applying for the “Telling Our Stories: Yakama Nation and Neah Bay” project, a partnership between the UW’s Pipeline Project and the Yakama Nation and Neah Bay Elementary School.
